Dreamcatcher's five year rights to Battlecruiser Millennium Gold and the original Universal Combat expires on 12-18-07. I do not intend to renew those rights. In keeping with my tradition, both games will be released for free on the Internet at some point in the near future.

If you added your XBL profile in your sig like I did, there wouldn't be a need for a separate thread.

You decided to "upgrade", then went out and bought and older 2003 game? Seriously? Anyway, there are many other factors involved in preparing a fighter for launch. Not just the FE. Read the manual.

Looks like they're moving our servers this week. So expect some intermittent service during the next few days.

Highly unlikely that the strike had anything to do with it since episodes are already written well in advance of the season finale. Also, if it was the strike, they wouldn't have any story at all, much less a half baked one. I think this is going to turn out to be another LOST (which I stopped watching at Season 2) fiasco.

complete.utter.rubbish. This season finale was the weakest ever for a series. And now HRG goes back to work for the company? Gimme a break. Thats such a huge plot hole, you could drive a Mack truck through it. If this one makes it past season 3, I'll be highly surprised, considering how utterly boring, bogged down and pointless Hiro's story arc this season was. Now they come with this weak - WEAK - season finale. Its like they've run out of ideas already.

I recorded it in HD and am going to watch it in an hour or so. Can't wait!!!

This has been revised so that the weather changes are more apparent. However, the force weather cheat will no longer work as before in that if you attempt to force, e.g. rain in a region that does not have rain, it won't work. Don't expect a patch for this any time soon because I'm pretty busy.

For almost two days, we've been experiencing an outtage. First they said it was a router problem. Now it seems to be worse than that. So if you have been having problems accessing the site, thats the problem. Things should hopefully return to normal after the move.

When it comes to gaming, I frigging hate it when I'm right. STOL has been on my DOA prediction list since it was first announced. Now comes this.

If the weather is stuck on the default [boiling], then there is something preventing it from advancing when triggered. That would be a bug. Anyway, I'll look into it this weekend and see what I can find out. Should be an easy fix if in fact its busted. ps: The stormy weather conditions are far more impressive in fp mode or in a gunship/fighter because you hear different sounds, volume etc than in a cap ship (due to its size). Try it. In fp mode, just press 4 to go to the DIE, then press N 2-3 times to get to the WIR, then CTRL+K to cycle. Press 1 to exit the DIE.

LMAO!!!! Actually "boiling" is the default - and first weather condition. If you enabled cheats in the game shortcut (/opt_cheats_on) and used CTRL+K (while looking at the current weather in NID/NIR or in DIE/NIR fp mode), you'd be able to manually cycle through all the weather conditions without using the SHIFT+T elapse time cheat. Go try it and see.

I will look at it this weekend and see whats going on and if in fact there is a problem there.

The point being the warhead on that missile just does the standard damage which all missiles do on detonation. On a planet, there is far - far more - destruction when it detonates. Why else do you think it can take out and _entire_ planet? Sheesh.

No, thats not it. An OTS warhead will only ignite when its flight model transitions from space to atmospheric flight. Thats why it detonates on impact and is harmless against a space object.

heh, you should be banned just for comparing me to that twit, Saddam. Nevertheless, the weather conditions have no effect on the game - any game - for that matter. Especially since it 1. bears no relevance to an ACM or ROAM campaign 2. has no positive nor adverse effects on either game type since neither has anything to do with the weather. Now if at 8pm the Sun was still up, now thats a problem. btw, the time acceleration cheat has no effect on the dynamic weather update. It only affects TOD which is time dependent. So you can advance time for as long as you want, unless the randomized weather is going to kick in, nothing will happen.

Tell you what. When I have time, I'll look into it. And if I don't find anything wrong, everyone in this thread who sent me on a wild goose chase, is getting banned for 90 days. If I do find something wrong (which is unlikely, since I know for a fact that it works or it just won't work), then, well, I guess I'll have to fix it. So, all those in agreement, just repond to this thread.

Pretty interesting stuff http://www.steampowered.com/status/survey.html

Dynamic weather means just that. Its dynamic, random, not predictable etc. Hence the reason that if I want a scenario to take place at night, I force the weather (read the GBS docs). If I want it to take place during a storm, I force the weather accordingly. Also, the weather is based on the location on the planet. You won't see clouds at the North pole most of the time. There is a reason why the NID/NRS (its also in the fp DIE) mode exists. Complete with a weather forecast. Some planets have no weather system. If those shots are from the RFM game, uhm, did it not occur to you that the fact that its RAINING - complete with a dark cloud cover - is a clue that the weather system is working just fine? I don't even know why this conversation thread exists. You guys must be bored. Normally I would just delete a thread like this, but I'm just going to let it stand so that I can see just how long the silliness will last.

Please don't post stuff like this in the tech support forum again. If you don't know by now how the dynamic weather system works - or how to use Tacops to view different parts of the planet etc, you might want to turn in your badge and exit left. Instant Action scenarios specifically set the TOD and weather conditions to suit the scenario. The ROAM, Campaign scenarios etc, do not. They leave the dynamic weather system alone so that it is handled automatically (as it should be).

The Direct2Drive version of the full UCCE product is now online.

LOL!!! Yay, two birthdays!!!

LMAO!!!! Didn't your parents teach you to look left, then right, then left again before walking down a dimly lit corridor?

ack!!! The UCSE to UCCE upgrade uses a different (the default UCSE one) path for the PTE3 terrain files and this patch installed the global default INI version which overwrites the one required. Open up UCSETUP.INI in Notepad Edit the [three] PTE related lines by changing them from pte to pte3 Save the file The end result should look like this [setup] version=1.00.03.02 ; [resource] archive=RESLIB1A.RES directory=.\data\ /z include=*.* directory=.\gfx\ /s include=*.* directory=.\gfx\ /z include=*.* directory=.\mods\ /z include=*.* ; archive=RESLIB2.RES directory=.\data\ /z include=*.* directory=.\gfx\ /s include=*.* directory=.\gfx\ /z include=*.* ; archive=RESLIB3.RES directory=.\pte3\ /s include=*.* directory=.\pte3\ptetex\ /s include=*.* ; archive=RESLIB4.RES directory=.\data\ /z include=*.* directory=.\gfx\ /s include=*.* directory=.\gfx\ /z include=*.* directory=.\models\ /s include=*.* directory=.\pte3\ptetex\ /s include=*.* ; archive=RESLIB5A.RES directory=.\soundfx\ /z include=*.* ;End of resources[/code] In your game install folder, you should also have a PTE and PTE3 folder. Move all the files from the PTE folder into the same path in the PTE3 folder and delete the PTE folder. I'll fix and re-upload the BMT version of this patch in a few mins. You can wait about 15 mins after the time stamp of this post and re-run the updater again (after rolling back your version num) to download and apply the corrected version. You will still have to delete the deprecated PTE folder.
